GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- The Arizona Coyotes have acquired center Boyd Gordon from the Edmonton Oilers for forward Lauri Korpikoski.
The 31-year-old Gordon had six goals and seven assists in 68 games with the Oilers last season. Gordon had 12 goals and 25 assists in 123 games with the Coyotes from 2011-2013. He was drafted by the Washington Capitals in the first round (17th overall) in the 2002 draft.
''We are very pleased to re-acquire Boyd Gordon,'' Coyotes general manager Don Maloney said in a statement.
''Boyd is an excellent defensive center who is one of the league's best in the faceoff circle.
